I'm playing a Chosen of Secrets, more a savant and lore master than anything else.

As I ponder my character, I'm still debating on which martial art I should take. I like Crane style, and Single Point Shining into the Void style, both of which use swords. I just don't know which to go with.

Well, if you are going to go with a more studious character, Crane style is more defensive in nature, and whilst I love Single Point style it is an essence drain paying for two attacks per initiative round.

Good points. I will have to ponder what to take.

You have plenty of time.

needs time to get a look at the Sidereal book to lock in a concept and play with some numbers.

That's fine. I have been taking a while! The run up to Christmas has been quite busy, combined with wrapping my head around Sidereals again. I am getting there, though, so if you're happy to run with three I should be able to join before you've gone too far.Just to let everyone know, I've been approached byChowlett taking his time getting his character made up, I thought this was a good way to start the game up and then he can jump in as his time permits.
Psychie why not introduce yourself to gmimperfecti and start discussing backgrounds?
FWIW,

, I'm looking at an energetic wanderlusty Journeys who does McGuyver style rapid field crafting, including improvised weapons. I may dabble a bit in Endings and/or Larceny.I'm also debating Martial Arts (and whether I have room!) - was also considering Crane and Single-Void.
Psychie
I thought you'd gone for VBoS?

I had originally picked Violet Bier for my combat style, but with Reyna being more a teacher and researcher with a scattering of sorcery tossed in, I am wondering how well VBoS will fit my mental picture of her. Crane style is more defensive in nature, so I'm partially considering that one instead. I could go the other way and keep a more martial style and say one of the things she does is teach members of the Cult of the Illuminated how to fight with her chosen style.That's fine.

I might actually cut a few Charms and pick up a second martial art style. I have to think about just what I want Reyna to be.

Fair enough.

I was thinking a social focused tank. A flashy/defensive Martial art. I had a dream last night about the character. They're name was Between. And really excelled at understanding and manipulating relationships between things.

I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

Is Peacock style any good? It has both the showiness, defensive, and distracting elements I’m looking for. I’m inclined to take it

I never took the time to look at it to be able to give you an informed opinion on it. Sorry.

It mostly messes with onslaught penalties, allowing allows to stealth and restrictions on opponent movement through zone bands

Princess Psychie
Cool. Speaking of cool, I went ahead and dropped a couple of spells and Charms to pick up Crane Style up to the Form Charm. I'm keeping my VBoS Style, just adding to it a bit.

Merry Christmas to everyone!

They really phoned in the merits for Sidreal. In my old Sid book they went into elaborate detail with alternate merits and how they worked in Yushan. Now it’s just like you can get a pattern spider familiar if you want. Resources are there too.

Through the first pass, just trying to weed out charms.
Given the sparseness of artifacts in cannon, is it okay if we find an artifact we like and just swap it over to be star metal? I'm looking at armor and hearthstones currently.
Is it okay for Sids to have Manses in Creation? Or can you have elemental Manses in Yu-shan (like Wood, etc.)?

The charm trees seem unusually unlinked as well. I'm finding, building mini charts for the ones I'm interested in, that they generally only go one deep, and there are loads with no prereqs or follow-ups.
Sherwood

Probably won't have any issues with tweaking an artifact to say it's Starmetal.
Yes to Creation manses, and as big as Yu-Shan is, yes you can have an elemental aspect manse in the Celestial City.

Are we using these rules to make character sheets still?
I thought we were in the Bronze faction?
Doesn't only the Bronze faction get Backing 2 and Resource 3 for free?

We are using third edition, where you have 150 xp and 50 Sidereal xp. That puts you at Essence 3.
Afaik, the five free dots of Merits apply for either Faction.
